Description
During the Les Houches 2011 workshop, discussions started to define a set of recommendations for the presentation of LHC results on searches for new physics, aimed at providing a more efficient flow of scientific information between the experimental collaborations and the rest of the high energy physics community, and facilitating the interpretation of the results in a wide class of models. This discussion evolved into a draft document, available for download from this page. The goal of this meeting is to review this draft and present it to the experiments for discussion and eventual endorsement.
